Deciding on a Genre

After looking at the website showing popular films under different genres with the group, we decided that we would like to try and make a Thriller/Documentary styled short film. Films such as 'Cloverfield' and 'The Blair Witch Project' inspired us to try the thriller genre and the hand-held camera effect. We also feel that it is a different technique that none of us have tried before and seems like a good challenge and will deffinitely be a step up from our AS opening sequence to a film. We are really looking forward to trying this new way of filming and will further develop our film making skills.

We are currently now discussing narrative and so far we have thought about the idea of filming at our local castle, playing around with the idea of post modernism by making our short film seem like a normal tourist video at first and then the thriller aspect slowly unfolding. After discussing these rough ideas we have contacted the castle and are currently waiting for more information on whether or not we will have access to filming. As soon as we hear from them we can start to further plan the film narrative and begin to produce storyboards etc.
